bay area. we could use some rainfall. this is when the rainy season wraps up. we're ten inches below average in san francisco. nearly 7" below average for livermore and san jose for the year. but there is zero rainfall in sight for the next several days because of that center of high pressure which two things i want to point out. on it's taking the storm track and shoving it away from us. no rainfall. but still it's farther offshore which is still giving us a light onshore gradient. the wind coming from the pacific ocean. that's why in half moon bay and pacifica, and monterey and even in san francisco, your temperatures today were held down into the 60s. that begins to change tomorrow. high pressure moves closer to us almost eliminating the onshore flow so the warmup begins on sunday, everybody about 5 degrees warmer tomorrow even at the coastline, which will get close to 70. then monday and tuesday, high pressure then moves a little bit to the north expands its influence. that gives us the offshore winds. that's the stuff we get knocked over in. warmer temperatures on monday
5:49 pm
and tuesday, close to 90 away from the water. that's the peak of the heat coming up on monday and tuesday. then we'll have cooler weather with the onshore flow coming back on wednesday. so if you don't like the warm stuff, get through the next couple of days, cooler weather is coming back. mid-80s tomorrow for san jose and concord. we are looking at about 86 for campbell, 87 for morgan hill. hayward tomorrow 79. well into the 80s for pleasant hill and concord. and warmer in san francisco downtown likely 70 degrees. extended forecast, we're toasty through tuesday. you see that change toward thursday? that's when we cool back down, inland 70s and near the bay down to the 60s. so very warm, warmest since october coming up starting tomorrow. >> looks nice. thank you. not often we get to say that we have flag football highlights in sports. >> let me tell you something. i mean, this is explosive. >> all right. >> nowhere else but here, kpix 5, will you see screaming women in flag football. that will hook ya.
